No, it's not a painting by Ed Ruscha. It's a photo by @mariotama from the prophetically named Holy Fire in Cleveland National Forest near L.A. And, more beauty in our demise.: image via Reading The Pictures @ReadingThe Pix, 10 August

Message from the Captain
SwissAir Flight111 (crashed after an in-flight fire, 2 September 1998): image by anynobody, 2008
Not much time before landing, might as well say all this at last. A little wrath gave me a place to hide my face in, but when that passed and I looked in the eyes of those I'd left here to wander alone under the low ceiling of the empty sky, mercy measured the extent of my great openness, and I said: I won't say one more word; and I dashed my headset to the cockpit floor.
Nothing mars the clarity of this calm desert night until I will it. There's a lot of cloud cover as we go down. The departure of the mountains and the removal of the hills may well ensue, but not the ending of this feeling of deep peace waiting at the end of the landing strip; into which, as on a ship drifting after being wrecked in a storm, one must belatedly and unexpectedly happen. I think I can make out the runway lights.

They are not against the country, military, flag or "The Star-Spangled Banner" itself. NFL players who protest during the national anthem reiterated their position as misunderstandings persist.
